6. Start the engine of the vehicle
that has the discharged battery.
7. Remove the battery cables by reversing the above sequence
exactly. Start by removing thelast clamp first; that is,
remove the jumper cable from
the engine of the vehicle with
the discharged battery as the first step. Changin
g a Tir e
If you have a flat tire while driving, stop in a safe place to
change it. Stopping in traffic or on
the shoulder of a busy road is
dangerous. Drive slowly along the shoulder until you get to an exit or
an area to stop that is far away
from the traffic lanes. 1. Park on a level surface and set
the parking brake firmly. Turn
on the hazard warning flasher, and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK.
2. Set the automatic transmission in "Park" (the manual
transmission in "Reverse")
and transfer case in gear if it is a four-wheel drive vehicle.
3. Have your passengers get out
of th
e vehicle.
4. Remove the jacking tools (see page 184) and spare tire from
their stowage areas.
I n Cas e o f Emergenc y
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by
the jack.

Propelle r Shaf t
Lubricate the sliding yoke with
EP chassis grease. Lubricate
universal joints with grease
containing MoS 2 (molybdenum
disulfide-type grease) at the intervals shown in the
Maintenance Schedule. Also
check the propeller shaft
flange-to-pinion bolts for proper
torque of 64 N.m (46.3 Ib-ft).
Most lubrication recommendations
and procedures for four-wheel drive-
equipped vehicles are the same
for the corresponding components in conventional drive vehicles.
Exhaus t Syste m
Check the complete exhaust
system and nearby body areas for
damaged, missing, or
mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections, or other
deterioration that could allow
exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment or cause
heat build-up in the floor pan. Any
necessary corrections should be made immediately. For continuedsafety, exhaust system pipes and
resonators rearward of the muffler must be replaced whenever a new
muffler is installed.
Fue l Lin e an d Fue l Tank/Ca p
Inspect the fuel tank, cap and lines
for damage that could cause
leakage. Inspect the fuel cap and
gasket for correct sealing ability
and indications of physical
damage. Replace any damaged or
malfunctioning parts.
Driv
e Bel t
Check the belt driving the
alternator, power steering pump,
and air conditioning compressor.
Look for cracks, fraying, and wear. Replace as necessary.
Timin g Bel t
The timing belt should normally
be replaced at the intervals shown
in the Maintenance Schedule.
Valv e Clearanc e
Incorrect valve clearance will
result in increased engine noise and lower engine output, thereby
adversely affecting engine
performance.
